      “So this is what again?” She asked staring at the mess of boxes and bubble wrap.

      “A computer Buffy, a computer that I won fighting the ponce.”

      “I let him win.” Angel said carrying in the last box. “This is the printer and that’s all of it. Keep the boxes in the closet in case something goes wrong.”

      “Can’t.”

      “Can’t what?”

      “Can’t put ‘em the closet.”

      “Why not?”

      “I got other stuff in there.”

      “Like what?”

      “All the stuff that was here before.”

      “What stuff?”

      “The leather pants, the duster, Dru’s dolls, the stuff from your closet, all the crap the minions left behind when they left, MY shirts, my extra boots, the wheelchair, Dru’s dresses that I couldn’t fit in the car, all your stuff from the desk, your paintings and I think someone’s arm.”

      “Neat, let’s clean.” Buffy said.

      “Neat?” Angel said.

      “All that crap? It’s all history Angel.”

      “Yeah, let’s leave it as such.”

      “If you don’t want the duster, I’ll take it and the leather pants.” She winked at him with a smile. “And the pictures of me are mine. They are some of the most recent pictures of me, those and my senior pictures, which were taken on an extremely bad hair day and were subsequently burned.”

      “You burned them?”

      “Yes. It was a big bon fire of fun. I burned those, a bunch of pictures from middle school, my pom-poms and cheerleading outfit from LA, a bunch of letters from my old boyfriend and most of my clothes. Two days later Daddy took me on a shopping spree and I restocked, hence my college clothes.” She started crying.

      “Buffy?”

      “It’s nothing, I’m fine. I can’t go back, it’s over.”

      “Buffy, your parents will come around.”

      “Did yours?”

      “No, but I kinda killed mine long before I got my soul. I think it helps that you didn’t try to murder yours.”

      “I guess, but we’ll just argue about you anyway Angel, so why bother?”

      “Cause it’s important to you.”

      “I don’t know. Mom wouldn’t invite me in to my own home.”

      “She’s had a lot to deal with. The Slayer thing, me, you and me, evil me, no you, me again, you and me, no me, evil me, evil me and you, and now vamp you and me.”

      “Funny, the only one of us she really likes is Spike.” Buffy laughed. “She’d rather have tea with him than me.”

      “It’s the accent babe, drives chits crazy.”

      “It is pretty sexy. I was always sucker for an accent. I dated this one guy from Australia for about a month. This one time we went for a drive at midnight and... never mind. Story for another day, anyway, what’s this?” She pointed to the computer.

      “It’s a computer love, MY computer. I won it.”

      “I let you.”

      “Ponce.”

      “Blondie.”

      “Wanker.”

      “Impotent Wonder.”

      “Nancy hair gel boy.”

      “Ass whipped.”

      “Buffy whipped.”

      “Flaccid.”

      “I hate you.”

      “No you don’t.” Spike was silent.

      “You two sound like little old ladies, only you’re worse.”

      “Why?”

      “Cause you’re so incredibly irresistible, the both of you. You’re also impossible, no wonder Dru went crazy.”

      “No, she was crazy before she ever met me.” Spike said opening another box.

      “Oh.” She sat on the bed, next to Angel. “I always thought you were older Spike.”

      “Nope. Well, in mind perhaps. She did have her lucid moments, when she said things that were actually useful. But I’m setting up my computer so sod off.”

      “Someone got up on the wrong side of the bed. Is he always this cranky?” She asked Angel, while leaning back into the satin covered pillows.

      “I think so. Had I known how cranky and stubborn he was I’d never have turned him in the first place.”

      “Yes you would’ve mate.”

      “You think so?”

      “I know so.”

      “Why?”

      “Cause you liked me arse. Now sod off or shut your trap.”

      Angel turned to Buffy, “he’s right. So what about the Slayer?”

      “I don’t know. Kendra didn’t understand the whole soul thing, but she accepted it. Faith really didn’t have a choice and really didn’t care, but this one? She’s the Slayer, I’m a vampire and she’s not in love with me or anything.”

      “How did she seem?”

      “Like she wanted to kill me, but that’s just a first impression.”

      “I’ve been thinking, with another slayer in town who is going to be keeping the Hellmouth in check, perhaps it WAS time we moved, you know, elsewhere.”

      “Whaddya mean?”

      “Well, your mom hasn’t been exactly understanding or anything, and Sunnydale’s got another Slayer now and perhaps it would help if we went somewhere else.”

      “Where?”

      “We could move to LA, find a big apartment for the three of us and you can help me with the agency while Spike bitches and moans about being chipped.”

      “I do not bitch and moan, Sire of mine. I simply complain.”

      “Which sounds a whole lot like bitching and moaning, childe of mine.”

      “You know, you were never this full of words before Angelus, must be all them books.”

      “I had words before, my mouth was just always filled with so much more than words.”

      “Yeah, like me.” Spike smiled wickedly and finished hooking the wires up. “Okay, let’s see if we can on-line and if this doesn’t work you wanker, I’m shagging your arse into the carpet.”

      “Put it that way Spike and I’m not sure if I want it to be broken or fully functioning.”

      “Would you two either fuck or shut up cause I’m sick of your little flirtations. You’re both horrible teases. Now, let’s talk about me. Are you serious about LA?”

      “Yes. You wouldn’t be so bored, you could use the tunnels like I do to get around during the day, there’s plenty of excitement and I thought you and Cordy were sort of getting along.”

      “We were starting to, we’ve kind of been emailing a while.”

      “She won’t shut you out like everyone does Buffy. She’s still got the attitude but she’s grown, I think.”

      “I couldn’t believe it when Willow told me she was working for you, little Miss Cordelia, Queen C, who was monster food every other week in high school. I wouldn’t think she’d wanna be near another demon ever.”

      “She didn’t, but I saved her life, she was hungry and needed a job. Now she complains about cleaning up demon bodies, but she could go any time and she doesn’t. She needs another woman around I think. Wesley is close, but not quite.”

      “Right and Wesley completes the Sunnydale rejects club.”

      “He’s good people, plus he’s great with the research.”

      “I know but...”

      “Just think about it Buffy, we have time.”

      “Yeah I know, but Willow’s just been weird, I can get that, but... she’s Willow. She’s supposed to be the best friend, all perfect and loving and everything. She didn’t get the whole Angelus stuff when she found out and I can even accept that anger from her, but the cold shoul...”

 

      “YES! WE’RE IN!” Spike jumped off his chair and dove onto the bed in front of them. “IT WORKS! THANK YOU!” He grabbed Angel and smashed his lips to his Sire’s, forging his tongue inside. Angel’s hand slid around to the nape of his neck drawing him closer before letting him go. “Now we can check out porn.” Spike laid on his back, staring up at the white ceiling.

      “So what do you think about the move?”

      “What move Slayer?”

      “To LA.”

      “Why? When?”

      “Haven’t you been listening?”

      “Buffy, one thing about my dumb ass childe, he never listens, rather he has selective hearing. If it’s anything about killing, blood or sex, he’s all ears, otherwise, nothing.” Spike glared at his Sire. He was a beautiful man. He’s missed him so much, being close to him, physically, emotionally, just being. His Sire just exuded confidence, love, sex, a feeling of safety.

      “Well, Angel was thinking that perhaps we should all move to LA.”

      “Why?”

      “Cause Buffy doesn’t need to be hunted by the new Slayer. The slayer may be good and will be out for dust. If she is, it will be a fight to the death and Buffy doesn’t want to kill people, especially another Slayer. If by chance she did kill her, another would be sent and be even angrier and out for revenge of some kind.”

      “Cor Angelus, do you always over analyze? No wonder you brood so damn much. Is there anytime you don’t brood?”

      “When I’m fucking you two.” Angel replied.

      “Then we’ll just have to make sure you do it often, or rather, do US more often. We wouldn’t want you to kill off all your brain cells brooding, would we Buffy?”

      “No, we definitely don’t want that.” She got up and glanced out the window. “Sun’s almost down. I’m going to get dressed, I wanna go see Willow and Xander.”

      “Okay, want company?” Angel asked her.

      “No. I’ll be okay. No break downs of any kind, I promise.”

 

      “Are you worried about her?”

      “Why Spike? I think she’s better, she doesn’t cry as much anymore. She seems happier since...”

      “Since us?”

      “Since us.” Angel nodded and looked up at his childe, his William, sitting at the computer bare-chested. “What are you doing?” He got up and stood behind his childe and ran his fingers through his blond hair.

      “I’m playing with my computer. I won it you know.”

      “I let you win.”

      “No you didn’t. I won fair and square and you know it, deep inside that soul of yours, and if you need to tell yourself that you let me win, I’ll let you believe that, but we both know the truth. And so does Buffy.”

      “I hope she’s okay.”

      “If she’s not, we’ll fix it.”

 

      She stood at Xander’s door and knocked a few times. Anya opened it. “Hi Buffy! Do you wanna come in?”

      “Can I?”

      “Sure come on in. Xander’s not here, if you’re looking for him. He’ll be back soon though, you’re welcome to wait if you like. I’m just watching ‘Friends.’ Want some tea?”

      “Sure Anya, thanks.” She followed the ex-demon into the apartment her and Xander had gotten six months prior. “So how is the living together thing working?”

      “Great! We don’t have to worry about his parents, or leaks of any kind, and we can have sex whenever we want, which I’m sure you know is good.”

      “Yes, it’s good. Sex is good. How are you?” She sat on the couch and Anya sat beside her. “How is Xander? How is everyone else?”

      “Xander heard from Willow that you met the new slayer.”

      “Yeah, she’s, she seemed nice.”

      “She’s a total bitch, I refuse to go there anymore and Xander doesn’t like her much either.”

      “Why?”

      “She thinks she knows everything, when she clearly doesn’t. Plus she knew who I was and was very mean, she’s just prejudice. She doesn’t get the fact that there a several demons who don’t hurt people, who just live and several ex-demons who want to live in peace.”

      “Why is she here?”

      “To keep the Hellmouth under control. She’s said nothing about killing you or Angel, but Giles isn’t sure if she’s not saying anything. He was going stir-crazy and the Council just showed up one day and offered his job back. No other Watcher wanted to live on the Hellmouth. She showed up a couple weeks ago. She’s strong enough but predictable as hell. Xander went patrolling with her the first couple days and he says that you’ve taken on bigger demons that she could barely handle. But enough about her, how are you Buffy? I’ve been worried about you and Xander has too, he’s just too proud and stubborn to admit it, but I know he is.”

      “I’m adjusting but it’s tough. Sometimes I’ll cry myself to sleep, other times I think things will be okay. But I’ve missed you guys so much.”

      “You should come by at night, or Bronze it with us one night. We were actually thinking about it tomorrow night, if it’s good for you.”

      “I can’t tell you how much this means to me Anya, even if you are just being nice.”

      “You never threw my ex-demon status in my face Buffy, you never thought anything of it and you’ve saved my life a few times. I appreciate all that, plus now Xander isn’t jonesing for you.”

      The door opened and Xander walked in. “ANYA! I’m hom... Buffy.”

      “Hi Xander. How are you?”

      “Okay.” He put down a bag on the counter.

      “Did you get everything I had on the list Xander?”

      “Yes Anya, I did, except popcorn cause they didn’t have our kind. Buffy, what are you doing here?”

      “Well, I missed you and... Angel and Spike and I have been talking about moving to LA permanently, but I don’t wanna leave if there’s a chance to be friends again. I know things happened between Angelus and I that you don’t approve of or understand. Hell I’m not even sure if I completely understand myself. I don’t know if things can ever be the same, I know they can’t, but I’d like to have something different, but if we can’t, I just wanna say that I’m sorry.”

      “I’m glad you came over Buffy. I’ve been thinking a lot about this lately. I know I came down hard on you. I can’t even imagine what it must have been like to wake up and find your lover killing people. The other day I thought about something I hadn’t before. What if one morning I woke up and Anya had her powers back and was eviscerating people again, I don’t know what I would do. I’m sorry I was so hard on you Buffy, but I just can’t accept that this was the only solution you found. You became the thing you’ve been hunting for years.”

      “I know. I thought about it so much, but I just couldn’t go another day without Angel, and we couldn’t be together. I’ve never done a selfish thing since I was called. I did some stupid things and I’ve made some really dumb mistakes but I never did anything truly selfish. So this is the first thing I’ve done, it wasn’t the smartest thing to do, but... I didn’t want him to watch me grow old and die, if I even did grow old.”

      “You could’ve been the one slayer to survive longer than twenty years.”

      “I guess we’ll never know, but would it be worth dying at my own hands? I was so sad Xander, sometimes when I was patrolling, I couldn’t even see who I was fighting. It could have been a person for all I know. When Angelus returned, my eyes deceived me, I was making love to Angel, but it wasn’t and it just broke me. Then I woke up and he was really there, but if anything his return showed us how much we couldn’t be together.”

      “I invited her to the Bronze tomorrow night.” Anya announced.

      “That’s a good idea, you should come, bring dead boy and junior if you like. Willow and Tara are coming too.”

      “How is Willow?”

      “She feels horrible, kicking herself for not being a good friend, but then she’ll get mad cause you lied to us about Angelus, about Angel being back, about being fine.”

      “I know and I’m sorry. It wasn’t as though I couldn’t trust you, I just... I couldn’t trust myself to say the words out loud. I was so ashamed of being attracted to Angelus, and then after a while it just seemed, the less everyone knew, the better. And I suppose that I was with him sometimes, cause I knew if he was with me, he wasn’t hurting you guys.”

      “But you knew he was stalking us and killing people. You slept in his bed, while he was sleeping, and you didn’t stake him. You could have saved so many people.”

      “I know Xander. I loved him. It was twisted and horrible, but... I was so confused. I’m sorry.”

      “And now you’re a vampire. You became what you’ve been fighting.”

      “I know, and I can’t apologize for it, and I won’t, not anymore. It’s done, no turning back. I just have to accept that and I think I am. But my question is, can you?”

      “I don’t know Buffy, I just don’t know. But why don’t we find out? Come to the Bronze tomorrow.”

      “Okay, I think I will. Do you think I should go see Willow tonight?”

      “Sure.” She got up and Xander walked her to the door.

      “I’m glad I came Xander, I missed you.”

      “I missed you too.” She hugged him and was on her way to Willow and Tara’s apartment. She knocked on the door and a couple minutes later Willow opened it.

      “Buffy... what are you doing here?”

      “I came to see you.”

      “Now isn’t a good time Buffy.”

      “WILL! WHO’S AT THE DOOR?” A voice screamed from inside the apartment.

      “Oh, I’m sorry Willow, you have company.”

      “I’d invite you in Buffy, but maybe you shouldn’t be here.”

      “Oh, okay, I won’t come back, I’m sorry Wills.”

      “No, Buffy, it isn’t that, I mean, I wanna talk to you, but...” just then the other Slayer appeared behind Willow.

      “Buffy, you’re not invited here. Slaying isn’t your job anymore, you’re a demon and you’ll be treated as such. Don’t come around or I’ll stake you myself. That’s your last warning.” The girl stepped out and advanced on Buffy. “I won’t be as nice next time so I suggest if you see me walking down the street, you walk on the other side. Goodbye.”

      “Buffy?” Willow asked.

      “I’m sorry... I... I have to go.” Buffy ran all the way back to the mansion and slammed the door behind her. She sunk to the floor, leaning against the door.

 

      They were sitting at the kitchen table when the door slammed. “Buffy? Is that you?” Angel walked out of the kitchen to find her huddled against the door. “Buffy? Are you okay?”

      “SLAYER!” Spike ran past him and kneeled in front of her. “Slayer, don’t do this again. Look at me.” He watched his favored childe place his hands on her face, forcing her to look at him. “What happened?”

 

      He never understood why Angel was so slow, he had raced past him to Buffy’s side. She was scared and sad, again. “Slayer, what happened?” He asked again. She looked up at him and put her head against his bare chest and he held her for a minute. Her hands wrapped around him and held on tight. She was really scared. He kissed the top of her head and felt her fingers grasping at his shoulder blades, but as she ran them down his back, her touch changed.

      She looked up and looked back at him with that lust, the desire, he’d seen her give Angel. She leaned up and met his lips passionately. Her tongue slid inside his mouth and explored his cavity as he felt her hands slip inside his boxers to his ass. She pulled away from his mouth and trailed down his jawbone, neck and collarbone to his chest. Her mouth engulfed his nipple and he growled softly at the sensation.

 

      He watched as Buffy pushed Spike back onto the floor, he stood not ten feet from them and watched. Buffy straddled his hips and continued lavishing his pale broad chest with her tongue while his hands worked at getting her dress off. Angel sunk to the floor as Spike pulled the dress off her and cupped her perfect breasts. He felt himself hardening as he watched his two childer.

 

      She slowly pulled Spike’s boxers down, releasing his erection from its confines. She sat straight up, still straddling him and flashed a smile at Angel, as the boxers hit him in the face. Her eyes connected with his, requesting permission, and he nodded. Spike’s thrust upward brought her attention back to him and she growled loudly at him. He thrust again and she slapped his face hard.

 

      He was surprised at the slap. It was so brutal. Then the hand that had punished him ran over his chest tenderly. His hands took her hips and aided as she impaled herself on his cock. She growled as she squeezed him and he loved it, having her to himself. He was vaguely aware of the fact that they were not alone, he could smell his sire’s arousal, but he had her to himself.

      She began riding him hard and fast. She growled and screamed as she rose and slammed herself back onto him. He looked up at her, as her breasts heaved, bouncing as she moved on him.

 

      She was a wonder, an amazing wonder. Angel watched as she rode his childe. He closed his eyes a second and could practically feel her around him. She moaned his childe’s name and he opened his eyes. He wanted to see her orgasm wash over her. While he was making love to her, he could see her, but he couldn’t really watch her.

      She started panting, and it was all Angel could do to stop himself from ripping his own boxers off and sliding in behind her. He wanted to, but she might not be ready for that, but he wanted to touch her. He restrained herself, he forced himself to let her take what she wanted.

 

      Spike slid his hand down and squeezed her clit and she came. She leaned down and her fangs descended into his neck and they came together, her for the second time. She laid on top of him for a few minutes, drinking. He felt her lift up and watched as she literally crawled over him on her hands and knees.

 

      He watched as she crawled over to him, like a cat on the prowl. Her mouth met his in a searing kiss, as she ripped his boxers off him. “Oops.” She winked as she kissed her way down his body, as she pushed him back, like she had Spike, but he resisted. “Angel?” She whimpered, half whining.

      “Not here.” He stood up and took her hand. He stopped in front of the fireplace and sunk to the floor with her.

 

      Spike followed them in. He walked over to the fireplace and watched a second as Buffy licked her way down to his Sire’s beautiful cock. He shook his head and went about lighting a fire, careful not to set himself on fire in doing so. When the fire was burning, he turned to find her mouth bobbing up and down Angel’s manhood. He sat on the coffee table, not two feet from them, and watched as his Sire bucked underneath her.

 

      He had had several dozen female lovers, maybe several hundred, but nothing compared to his Buffy. She took him places he’d never been. Her hands were under him, grabbing his ass, pulling him upward as he thrust into her mouth. He felt tiny fingers caressing him, so close to where Spike had been buried not two days before. He growled loudly and came as he felt her finger slide inside the puckered opening.

 

      She wasn’t nearly satisfied. She sat up as he recovered from his orgasm and she laughed. “Baby likes it, huh?” He nodded violently as he struggled to sit up. “See how you like this.” She slammed down onto him as she pounced. She began riding him as she had Spike. She looked over at Spike, sitting on the coffee table, completely naked, hard again. She reached over and pulled the table closer. As she slammed down into Angel, she sunk her mouth on Spike’s erection.

 

      She opened her mouth wide and he began thrusting into it, as she drove Angel deep inside her. He was deep inside her mouth, hitting the back of her throat, half expecting her to gag, but she didn’t. She was magnificent.

 

      She wanted them to come together, all at the same time. She felt herself, she was ready. She sensed they all wanted the same thing. Spike was grunting and growling, ready himself. She felt Angel’s hand slide in between their bodies readying himself at her clit. She growled and he squeezed her and she came as Angel shot his cool seed deep inside her and she swallowed Spike’s essence.

      Sated, she fell beside Angel, and she felt Spike lay beside her. She was sandwiched in between her two lovers, with their arms around her, all six legs tangled together. All three purring simultaneously.
